[ubuntu-uk] Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB. This must be wrong.

Hello, Alex.

/dev/sda3 is a partition, not a disk...

try:

	sudo parted /dev/sda print

As a general rule, you can use "lshw" and "fdisk" to identify your disks:

	sudo fdisk -l
	sudo lshw -short -C disk

Happy disk hunting :-)

Bye,

	Tony.
